Sell your semi truck for cash in Sturgis the easy and convenient way

Nearest of the pits, VANDERBOOM PIT works sand and gravel 14.7 miles up the road north of Sturgis, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have hauled aggregate out of a pit like that one can be sold from the pit road or the yard where they now sit. Send us the street address or the nearest crossroads, plus photos of the box, the hoist and the cab.

West of town, Coeur Wharf is a metal mine 18 miles out on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and the CF & I PIT, also a metal mine, lies 19.7 miles to the south. Keep any mine access permits, safety sign-offs or service logs together with the title; they show us where the truck spent its working life.

Heading south-east toward Rapid City, Mine Safety and Health Administration records show KONECHNE MINE at 21.7 miles, Rapid City Quarry & Mill at 22.7, the 63 Mobile 1 gravel spread at 23.6 and Rapid City Quarry at 24.8. If your truck is parked at one of those sites rather than in Sturgis, leave it there and tell us who holds the gate key; we arrange the pickup on site.

Twenty-eight of the same carriers move machinery and large objects, so lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them are as much a part of the local fleet as vans and flats. Tell us the trailer type when you describe a tractor, even if you are selling the tractor alone.

Farm and timber cargo shows up in the same federal census: 19 Sturgis carriers haul grain, feed or hay, and 16 haul logs, poles, beams or lumber. A log truck or a grain hopper setup is a straightforward sale for us; photograph the bunks, the hopper gates or the bed along with the frame and the VIN plate.

Of those 61 carriers, the carrier census marks 37 as interstate and 24 as intrastate, and 36 run private fleets that carry their own goods. A private-fleet truck owned by a ranch, a contractor or a supplier sells the same way a for-hire one does: the titled owner signs, and the registration and plates stay with you until the truck leaves.

Sturgis-based trucks stopped at the roadside from September 2024 to August 2026 number 58 in FMCSA roadside inspection records; their median model year is 2016, and 51.7 percent are at least ten model years old. Whatever year your truck is, have the VIN and the model year to hand when you contact us; those two details are where every conversation starts.

Twenty-seven Sturgis carriers give FMCSA’s carrier census a yearly mileage figure, and the middle of that range is 40,000 miles a truck. Read the odometer before you call and send a photo of it, along with the hour meter if the truck has one.

At the top end, FMCSA’s carrier census shows one Sturgis fleet with 52 power units and 33 drivers, and two more with 25 units each, staffed by 20 and 13 drivers. If you are selling several units from one operation, list each VIN separately with where it is parked, and we will plan the collections as one job.

Cattle lead the farm output of Meade County, followed by wheat and corn, across the 797 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Cattle pots, grain trucks and the farm tractors that pull trailers between ranches and elevators are all trucks we buy, and many of them are parked out on the place rather than in town.

A truck sitting at a ranch gate or behind a machine shed is fine where it is. Send a map pin or written directions to the yard, say whether the lane in is gravel or dirt, and include any gate code with a contact name.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 2,999 jobs in Sturgis: 214 in manufacturing, 149 in construction and 114 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks, flatbeds and service trucks from those employers’ yards are part of what we collect, so a business selling a single unit can contact us the same way an owner-operator does.

Builders are well represented too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 43 construction establishments around Sturgis. If your dump truck, water truck or crane truck belongs to a company rather than to you personally, have the business name exactly as it appears on the title, and the person authorised to sign for the company ready when we arrange the sale.

Of 20 bridges near Sturgis in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, two carry posted load limits and none has a clearance under 14 feet. When you send the address, say which road you would use to reach the truck, so we can plan a route that avoids a posted crossing.

If the truck stands on a ranch track or a pit haul road, tell us whether a tow truck or a lowboy can turn around near it. A clear note about access, with a photo of the approach, saves a second trip.

• Can you pick up a dump truck sitting at VANDERBOOM PIT instead of in Sturgis itself?VANDERBOOM PIT sits 14.7 miles north of Sturgis on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a truck parked at a pit like that one is collected where it stands. Give us the site address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.
• I run a cattle hauling outfit in Meade County. Will you look at a livestock truck?Cattle top USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture list for Meade County’s 797 farms, and livestock trucks and pots from those operations are on our list. Send photos of the tractor, the trailer if it is included, the VIN and the title.
• Which documents does a Sturgis carrier or rancher gather before selling?For the 61 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Sturgis, and for private owners alike, the starting point is the title in the seller’s name, the registration and the VIN. Inspection or service records help if you have them; if the title is missing, tell us at the start and we will explain the next step.
• Do you take log trucks from Sturgis lumber haulers?Sixteen Sturgis carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, and log trucks are among the trucks we purchase. Photograph the bunks, the frame and the VIN plate and tell us where the truck is parked.
